Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

From the first contact to the last day of our mother’s life, just 5 weeks later, the understanding, professionalism and flexibility which underpins this organisation was in evidence, whoever we came into contact with; from office management, support team and care coordinators, to the out-of-hours support,
and particularly, day after day, the amazing team of care givers; every single one gave their best.
Our mother became very fond of ‘her ladies’, as did we. The cheerful, compassionate and considerate care she received from every one of the wonderful carers who looked after her, helped to make an exceptionally difficult time a little easier on us all.
Home Instead made such a huge difference to both our mother and the rest of the family.
Along with a highly professional service, they delivered compassion and dignity, sunshine and good cheer. They lightened a dark time for us all and helped us be a little stronger.

The carers were competent and carried out their duties as specified, plus a chat.
It was reassuring to know that such a person would be arriving each morning to get me sorted, clean and tidy and breakfasted.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 10 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Home Care Provider is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.591 for Home Instead (Ruislip & Harrow) is calculated as follows: ( (46 Excellents x 5) + (14 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 66 Ratings = 4.591

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows: 3 points for the first Positive Review, 2 points in total for each of the next 9 Positive Reviews (1st = 3, 2nd = 0.5, 3rd = 0.5, 4th = 0.25, 5th = 0.25, 6th = 0.1, 7th = 0.1, 8th = 0.1, 9th = 0.1, 10th = 0.1)

    The 5 points relating to the number of Positive Reviews for Home Instead (Ruislip & Harrow) is based on 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as follows: 3 + 0.5 + 0.5 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 5

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Home Care Provider does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
